You have to find the angle of sunlight and the pole , which then cast a shadow
length of the pole is equal to 3.1m
creating a hypotenuse of 4.52m
the angle will be
[email protected] = opposite side / hypotenuse
= 1.46/4.52
= 0.32 that's 18.66 °
now for the building sin18.66° = opposite/hypotenuse
0.32 = 36.75/ hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 114.84 m
thus using Pythagoras theorem
114.84*114.84 = 36.75*36.75 + x^2
which comes around = 108.8 roughly 109 metres long

Write an equation of the line passes through the given points (6,-3),(1,2)
adoni [48]

Answer:

y = -x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 2 - -3)/( 1 - 6)

   ( 2+3)/( 1-6)

   5/ -5

   -1

The slope is -1

We can use slope intercept form

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -x+b

Substitute a point into the equation

2 = -1 +b

Add 1 to each side

2+1 = -1+1+b

3 = b

y = -x+3

performance determine the slope and the y-intercept given the following linear functions. 1.f(x)=3x-10​
Monica [59]

Answer:

Slope: 3

Y-Intercept: -10

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is in slope-intercept form, it is written as y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. This means 3 is the slope and -10 is the y-intercept.
